    Thumbs up SX4 Diesel coming Next month!

    Post  Road Rocket 24th June 2009, 11:35 am

    Maruti Suzuki might just pull a rabbit out of their hat – we hear that the company might be ready with the diesel variant of its SX4. The SX4 could have a 1.3-litre or 1.6-litre multijet diesel engine in it.
    Considering the kerb weight of the car, the 1.6-litre diesel motor makes more sense – the 1.3 wouldn’t have enough power to make the SX4 a fun drive like the petrol-powered variant is. Fiat is also planning to power its Linea with the 1.6-litre engine in the next few months, so that leads us to believe that the 1.6 will be the likely motor.

    But from what I had heard, SX4 will not be coming before next year. And the motor will be a 1.6lt, as the company has officially declared.

    If SX4 1.6 JTD is coming next month, expect Linea 1.6L JTD to come in 3-4 months time at most.

    Can we have a link to the page which says that the Suzuki is officially coming with the 1.6JTD.
    I think it will be a 1.3 90 bhp same as Linea.

    SX4 diesel sounds interesting. I love the ground clearence of SX4 the most.

    SX4 Hatch is even more interesting. Diesel powerplant with 4x4 and a compact hatch. Seems like my dream come true. Y'day I was just thinking about Ford Fusion and was wondering why Ford is not pushing it agressively. It can be made available in Powerful Diesel Option (100bhp atleast) and 4x4 with some additional features. I won't mind paying upto 10 lacs for such a hatch.

    I'm not sure whether 1.6 jtd is coming next month, but earlier i read in some mag that MSIL don't want 1.3l VGT doing duty in Linea, as it is too small for the big SX4. But if 1.6jtd comes with SX4(any diesel in SX4), my dad will go for it for sure, as he likes the car very much and was waiting for a diesel even before we buy Logan.

    If 1.6L JTD of Linea or SX4 comes, it will be at least 120 BHP as te reguolar one produces 110 BHP Approx.
    Don't know about SX4, but it will surely make the Linea a total Stonker.

    But if FIAT too launches the Linea with 1.6 soon then SX4 diesel will again have to face the sleepless nights!

    1.6 diesel plant for both would be stonker for sure, if maruti gets this plant then we would surely see it coming on LInea too which would get market even hotter.wow.

    I think, as in the Swift, Maruti will manage to tune the engine better, giving it good performance and economy.

    well DC, till now only maruti has successed to tune fiat's multijet engine this wonderfully, even fiat hasent been able to do this in their own new car GP which is heard among other forums as well as their TD"S.
